There was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And haikus confused

There once was an X of class B
Who satisfied predicate P.
He or she did thing A
In an adjective way,
Resulting in circumstance C.
(At least that's how I remember it.)
@craigbuchanan Nice!
I once tried to write
A haiku but enjambment
Ruined it right through.
So a Limrick was
Writt'n that it would all fit'n, one
poem then became two!
my brain!@rysiek @craigbuchanan Are you the brain specialist?
Alright, no more Monthy Python quotesβ¦
@craigbuchanan
There was an old man
From Peru, whose limericks
All looked like haiku
He said with a laugh
"Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who didn't care for Limericks
@craigbuchanan - The clerihew
Was invented by you-know-who.
Yes you do, that's his name.
It's the same.
